The relations between the factual and linguistic components of common ground are notoriously difficult to trace. I clarify them by exploring how modal disagreements – disagreem ..."

"... Abstract – Research on human-human interaction shows that people estimate each others ' knowledge to find where they have a common ground of understanding. They adapt their speech to this common ground. In particular, people explain themselves more to others when they have less common ground. W ..."

In this paper we provide a description of how the iterated specific use of an indefinite NP can lead to the establishment of referential chains across dialogues and dialogue participants. We describe how they introduce discourse referents, how they are related to the commonground, and how

This thesis is about the uncertainties that naturally form a part of human communication. Language as a communication medium is inherently ambiguous. It is generally assumed that its use is made possible by the existence of commonground among communicating participants, but the question of how

"... Abstract: Philosophy is the basis of all sciences, the foundation of knowledge that provides ultimate answers beyond the limits of science. Although scorned and spurned by science purists(which is partially justified by its modern errant ver-sions), metaphysics and logic, especially, form a common g ..."

We will propose a set of premises for use as a common world-view and then apply them to current science beliefs in order to demonstrate some common fallacies that commonly occur in establishment

"... this paper aims at investigating the dynamic behavior of different kinds of questions in comparison mainly to assertions. The present approach relies heavily on Zeevat's work on common ground updates (Zeevat 1997), and it extends the latter by some concepts from Groenendijk and Stokhof 1984. 2 ..."
